what did he say about webber?

Basically touched on how talented he was, how he probably should've been the best PF ever but injuries obv. got him. Talked a little about how they first met, when C-Webb joined their childhood team.

And then they kind of got into if there's bad blood between them. Jalen was saying how they don't really talk, but if they see each other it's all good. And he might have a little resentment because he thinks C-Webb is subconsciously dismissing everything relating to Michigan because of what happened there.

Webb was the only one who declined to be interviewed in the Fab Five doc so maybe jalen's onto something :ohhh:

41st was the worsest turf on the earth...
Jalen is quickly becoming one of the biggest stars over at ESPN which is kinda amazing considering he had to do that month for that dui last year. They normally drop former athletes as soon as there's any trouble.

Cosign the Grantland podcast too. It's REALLY good and he can talk about more than just basketball.

Jalen is a breath of fresh air, no sugar coating and knob slobbling. I would believe him and the Van Gundys over all of the other player/coach media heads.

I love Jalen Rose and the Fab 5 like cooked food..:ohlawd:

C-Webb lied to the grand jury about takin money from Ed Martin and pissed Jalen off..

The rest of the Fab 5 are still close tho..

He is so honest about everything. It will probably get him in trouble a few times, but fukk it, it's his views.

The other thing, and unlike Barkley, Jalen is not a hater. He never eviscerates a player based on hate or a bias.

I wasn't a Michigan fan at all, but the Fab 5 is my favorite team, I loved them dudes:lawd: They were more than a movement in my eyes.

Eventually his truth telling will get him in hot water and it'll be a shame. There is a thing about being too honest that the world hates.

Shaq could have been the GOAT if he had the work ethic of Kobe or someone similar. He was good enough to get by with doing the minimum and while it's disappointing, I kind of understand why. But he and Lebron might be the 2 most special human specimens I've ever seeen

He was just having fun out there and was able to perform at a very high level for a long time doing the minimum and a lot of athletes are like that.

The average Joe doesn't work hard to improve on any aspect in his/her life so I can't be to mad at him. Being a pro athlete is just a job to a lot of these guys, no more no less.

To be honest, there's a lot of people who consider Shaq the second best player of all-time anyway. People talk about Shaq not living up to his potential (which maybe he didnt) but he ended up being a top five player of all-time and the best of his own generation anyway.
